Hate to Love Romance.
Once upon a time… I did NOT like hate to love books. That was pretty much an immediate pass for me. Then I joined bookstagram and saw so many people gushing about how it’s their favorite trope. I figured I just might have been reading the wrong books. Turns out I was correct on that one.
There are still times I start and have to DNF an enemies to lovers romance because they feel too overdone, but there are some really fun ones too. Here are some of my favorites I’ve read this year…
Well Met by Jen DeLuca
This hate to love rom-com is set against the local Renaissance Faire. Emily is in town to help out her sister, whose recovering from an accident. She gets roped into volunteering at the Faire in her place. What’s worse is having to deal with the know-it-all in charge, Simon, who she can’t stand. Well we know that won’t last…

The Hating Game by Sally Thorne
Lucy Hutton is kind, fun, and easy going. Joshua Templeman is abrasive, uptight, and feared. The two hate each other. Lucy and Josh are forced to work together daily as executive assistants to co-CEOs of a publishing company, Bexley & Gamin. Their feud should ramp up when a promotion becomes available, but instead Lucy starts realizing maybe there’s more to Josh than she originally thought. Maybe she doesn’t actually hate him…

It doesn’t take too long though for Calla to realize that maybe she needs to give this place and her father a chance.
